Hi, Grad Students,

I'm in the early stages of a project on email filtering. I'd like to
gather some statistics about people's email habits to support the approach
I'm taking, specifically:

-how many people you email
-how many are at umd
-how many you have had a two-way exchange with (they email you, and you
email them)

Obviously, I don't want to get in and read your email, but I'd like the
statistics. I've written a little perl script that will compute these
statistics *if* you use pine. You just save the script to your home
directory, run it, and it spits out 4 numbers that you email to me. I
never see any messages or even the names of people you email.

For those of you who use pine as your main email program, I'd love it if
you would take a minute to run the script and send me the output. If you
are willing, reply to this message. I'll send you the script (it's perl,
so you can read the code and see that I'm not secretly grabbing a copy of
your mail) and brief instructions.

If you're curious for more details, let me know and I'd be happy to
provide them.

Thanks!
Jen
